This Heart For Hire
Elysa Hendricks
- Abandoned
- by
- his
- father
- and
- betrayed
- by
- his
- half-brother
- and
- fiancée
- on
- the
- eve
- of
- his
- wedding,
- JAKE
- GALLAGHER
- no
- longer
- believes
- in
- love.
- Though
- he
- longs
- to
- go
- home,
- his
- undercover
- work
- for
- the
- Texas
- Rangers
- keeps
- him
- in
- a
- lawless
- Texas
- border
- town.
- Even
- though
- it
- jeopardizes
- his
- mission
- he
- refuses
- to
- stand
- by
- and
- watch
- outlaws
- rape
- and
- murder
- a
- young
- woman.
- Getting
- shot
- and
- losing
- his
- memory
- wasn’t
- part
- of
- his
- plan.While
- fleeing
- from
- her
- stepfather’s
- plans
- to
- steal
- their
- ranch,
- CHRISTINA
- GOODWIN
- witnesses
- her
- brother’s
- murder
- and
- is
- left
- in
- the
- hands
- of
- a
- merciless
- band
- of
- outlaws.
- Raised
- in
- a
- strict
- convent,
- Christina
- has
- little
- knowledge
- of
- men
- or
- the
- world,
- its
- dangers
- and
- temptations.
- Frightened
- and
- alone,
- she
- is
- forced
- to
- accept
- the
- help
- of
- the
- dark
- gunslinger
- who
- rescues
- her.
- Though
- drawn
- to
- Jake’s
- potent
- masculinity,
- she
- hesitates
- to
- trust
- him,
- fearing
- her
- stepfather
- has
- sent
- him
- to
- bring
- her
- back.
- Unsure
- of
- Jake’s
- motives
- for
- helping
- her,
- she
- struggles
- against
- him,
- determined
- to
- find
- a
- way
- to
- avenge
- her
- brother’s
- death
- and
- regain
- control
- of
- her
- ranch
- from
- her stepfather.
